The other day I was just playing around with my sith team under a Nihilus lead to counter a barris team. Everything was going quite swimmingly as dooku led the charge. Maul got some nice hits in. Sidious devastated the tanks with a swish....and then palpatine runs in and gets a crit of 20k on barris. Now my first thought is wow, nice one buddy! But then, after little contemplation, I recall that my wrinkled friend here shouldn't be able to flash his yellow numbers at barris when he's being watched by Nihilus. My guess is that the devs worked in Nihilus' leader ability to reduce critical chance to 0 and that my palpatine accidentally benefitted from a mod that specifically gave me extra critical chance. Has anybody else noticed a similar occurance? Am I just missing something because I do not use nihilus as often? Thanks in advance.

Nihilus' leader ability actually increases crit avoidance of the enemy team to 9999.00% when being attacked by a Sith, according to the datamine. Is your Palpatine's crit chance above that?Could also be that their Barriss had a crit avoidance mod and the two together caused an overflow error.

Interesting....no, I highly doubt my Palpatine has a higher critical chance than that. It does make me wonder, however, as I am almost certain this is not supposed to occur.

Palpatines secondary dmg (dealt to shocked and rebel allies) can still crit even under DN lead

Perhaps it makes it 0% Physical crit chance, but doesnt do anything vs "Special Critical Chance"

Same! Getting savage up to replace palp for my DN squads..

I think Dooku is a must as well. Get 3 prot primaries on him and some good offense mods and he will destroy Rex / 3x cleanse teams. Most memorable win so far is he went 3 v 1 against a full health + some protection Chaze, GK, and Rex (7* G11, all well modded). I'd recommend maxing out the gear on his 11 plate though - it makes a big difference for his survivability and damage. Mine goes about 42k health / prot total and the AI can't do anything with him under DN. Heals per hit are a bit over 5k per. That's on a non-zeta DN leader. He doesn't need to be fast either - mine only goes 209 speed. The basic that can't be countered is awesome vs. GK / Chaze.

Haha yea I love dooku, I have him at 42k as well with about 270 speed. I have a zetad nih lead and he shreds. I have to change teams entirely for some people on my server, an unmodded g11 dooku under zih lead can solo teams :p

270! Woof! I have my better speed on other builds as I don't use Dooku primary, just to counter certain teams - but I can imagine the carnage at 270 under a zeta DN. WOW! Hide ya kids, hide ya wife!

Just ran DS 8-H to test something. Wanted to see what would happen with Phasma under a DN lead. Had DN, Phasma, Maul, SiT, and Dooku with a borrowed EP. As aspected, when I used Victory March, no one had a critical hit...until I got to EP. When it was his turn, I used Power of the Darkside...and he actually had 2 critical hits.

I couldn't believe it, but it was definitely two yellow damage totals.

Now, was it somehow VM overriding DN's lead, or is EP actually bugged and can crit under DN?

Ep bugged. I regularly see crits when kenobi calls him to assist

I really appreciate everybody here for making this a good faith effort and not another complaining forum post. I'm also glad to see this wasn't over-reported and I was missing something. From here, I am not sure how to best proceed in contacting the devs. At least we have a few players all reporting the same bug.

Tried the same myself on 9-B, using DN, EP, Vader, Dooku and Kylo, with a borrowed Phasma. First time Palp attacked with advantage, he didn't crit on either attack and the advantage wasn't used up. In a separate encounter, he attacked again with advantage and Crackling Doom got a crit. So I can confirm the bug happens on my device too, but it's erratic.

EP is bugged. His cracking doom can crit. No advantage needed
